TRENCH AND DUTCH PAPER; BuL,LETIN. i e %VIENNA, JUNE 22.—An Aid-de-Campbf Prince JOSEPLI PONIATOWSKY is arrived at the heed-quar ters of the army of the Grand Duchy. On the 10th of this month Prince SERGE GALITZIN was to be at Lublin, and .has advanced to Sandrner. The enemy pleases himself in spreading ephemeral bulletins, in which he always boasts of vi6tory. " According to his account, be took 20,000 mus kets and 20,000 cuirasses in the battle of Essling.— tie says, that on .the 2 tst and 22d he was master of the field of battle : he has oval caused to be printed and circulated an engraving of that battle, in which we see him striding over both shores, and his bat teries traversing the islands and the field of battle in every direction. . He also imagines a battle, which he calls the battle of Kilsee, in which a number of French have been killed or taken. These childish reports, hawked about by small column;, like that of SCHI . LL, are tactics employed to disturb and rouse the country. " General MARZRAM, who was made prisoner in the battle of Raab, has arrived at the headluar ters. He says that since the battle of the tiave, the Archduke JOHN has lost two-thirds of hisarmy —that he afterwards received recruits, which scarce ly filled the vacancies, and who do not understand the use of arms, " He reckons the loss of the Archdukes Jor and PALATINE, in the battle of the Raab, at 12,000 men. According to the report of the Hungarian prisoners, the PALATINE was on that day the first to take to flight. " Some persons seem to wish to put in opposition' the force of the Austrian army at Essliog, estimated at 90,000 men, with the 80,o0ci men which have been made prisoners since the opening of the cam paign ! They have shewn very little refleaion. The Austrian army entered upon the campaign with nine corps of 40,000 men each, and they had in the interior corps, of recruits and Landwehrs, so that Austria really had more than 400,000 men under arms. " From the battle of Abensberg to the taking of Vienna, they reckon that in Italy and Poland we have taken 100,000 prisoners from the enemy, and he has lost 100,000 men in killed, deserted,and those dispersed. There still remain therefore to him 200,000 men, distributed as follows: the Arch duke JOHN had in the battle of the Raab, 50,000 men- The principal Austrian army was, previous to the battle of tssliug, 90,000 men ; there remained iii,ooo men with the Archduke FERDINAND at War saw, and 25,000 men were dispersed in the Tyrol, and Croatia, and spread in bands on the confines of Bohemia. " The Austrian army at Essling was composed of the first corps, commanded by General BELLE GARDE, the only one which had not been engaged, and which was still entire, and the wrecks of the. 2d, 3d, 4th, sth, and Gth corps, wh i ch had been crushed in the preceding battles. " If these corps had suffered no loss, and had united, such as they were at the commencement of the campaign, they would have formed 240,000 men.----The Enemy had not more than 90,000 men. Thus we see how enormous the losses are which they have suffered. " When the Archduke JoRN entered on,the cam paign, his army was composed of the Bth and gth corps, amounting to 80,000 Men. At Raab he had only 50,000. But in these 50,000 were comprised 15,000 Hungarians of the Insurrection. His loss was therefore really 45,000 men. The Archduke FERDINAND entered Warsaw with the 7th corps, consisting of 40,000 men. It is reduced to 25,0)0. His loss is therefore 15,000 men. We will see how these different calculations are made and veri fied. " The Viceroy has with 30,000 French, beaten at Raab 50,000 men. " At Esiling go,ooo men have been beaten and restrdned by 30,000 French, who would have com pletely routed and destroyed them, if the carrying away of the bridges had not caused a want of ammu nition. " The great efforts of Austria have been the re. suit of paper money, and the resolution of the Austrian Government, to risk all in the danger o f bankruptcy, which would have brought about a revolution; she has preferred to add 500 millions to the mass of her paper money, and try a last effort to have it circulated throughermany, Italy, and Poland. it is very probable that this consideration has infikeaced more than any other her determinations. ." Not a single regiment has begl drawn^ from Spain except the Imperial Guard. 1 ' General Count . LAuntsi;oti continues the siege of Raab . with •the" greatest aCtivity. The town ha's been on fire for 24 'hours, and this army, which at Essfirig gained so great a vidory, that it took 20,000 muskets; and *OO cuirassiers; ' that army which at Itetso killed. so' many,- - : and made 'SO many pri . toners that army • which, atcorTnig 'tC its 4iQcry. pballlo44, .had gained such great advantages a t the battle of Raab, tranquilly sees its principal places besieged and burnt, and Hungary inundated by parties —and to save its dicasteus (all the valuable effeas of Government) have removed them to.the frontiers of Turkey, and to the utmost, extremity of Europe. " An Austrian Major and some troops had the temerity to,cross the Danube, at the mouth of the March, in two boats : General GILLY met him with some companies, drove him into the water, and made 40 prisoners." NoTE.—Ketsu is situated on the right hank di the Danube, and a league in the interior:'—(Moni ten? , June 30.) NAPLES, LONE 14.—The Emperor NAPOLEON his confided to his Neapolitan Majesty the charge of taking possession for France of the Papal States. It is believed that his Majesty will shortly set out for Rome, for the purpose of organising the new Administration, and of establishing a system of de fence. Several equipages at the Court are already The . King reviewed, on the 11th instant, at Chiaja, 15,000 superb troops, and was highly satis fied with their appearance and discipline. General REGNIER proceeded yesterday for the head-quarters of the Emperor NAI'OI.EON. Gen. CAMP REIDON is charged with the Port-folio of the War Department, ad interim. The whole kingdom enjoys pedal tranquility. Several wretches, lately landed by the English on the coast of Calabria, have been beaten and killed, or driven into the sea by the National Guard. The English have embarked all the troops which they had in Sicily ; we have just seen them pass, but are ignorant of their destination. All Italy is now de livered from the presence of the enemy's troops. DUSSELDORF, JUNE 24.—Au express dispatched from the Imperial head-quarters on the 16th inst. has brought the following intelligence : "The military movements of the grand armies are on the point of being re-commenced. The Em peror is merely waiting the arrival of 60,000 Rus sians, who are approaching Vienna by forced ninthes to strike a decisive blow. They are to ar rive at the same time with a Polish army, which af ter having subdued all Gallicia, is advancing to form a junction with the grand French army." PARIS, JUNE 28.—0 n the 22d the following noti fication was published at Ludwigsburg, the tesidence of the King of Wirtemburg : " The entrance of a corps of Austrian troops into the country of Bayreuth, and that of another corps into Saxony, which has already penetrated into Thuringia, as also the continually increasing in surrection jn the Voralberg and the Tyrol, which threatens the frontiers of this Kingdom, have induced his Majesty to resolve to increase his military force, in order as much as possible to cover his States from any hostile attack, on has therefore whatever. par t oi t h H e i s battalions Majesty of the m any side a i r ordered litia to be formed, and several battalions of the depots to be organized, so that in less than eight days a corps of infantry of from 8 to woo men, including the regiments of the line already in the country, may be brought into the field. "The depots of cavalry shall be prov itied with fresh horses, so that, with the Royal Guard, 800 cavalry shall be in readiness. The Rangers shall be formed into corps of Sharp-shooters. The Nobility answer to the call of the King with the greatest zeal." General PICARD has his head-quarters at Kaulbe urn, and his advance(' guard at kem,,seo. A column which has taken post at Landsuerg, covers the •I wo banks of the Lech; Schongau is occupied by an ad vanced guard. Tyrolean detachments, more or less numerous, are distributed be! wern Fuessen, Rotaburgb, Enmenstadt, and Bregentz, w here they join the insurgents from the Vurali)erg. They continually send patroles into the flat country, but retire as soon as regular troops approach. According to accounts from Ansburgh, the greatest confusion and terror prevails in the Tyrol where the Peasants commit all kinds of excesses and cruelties. The line formed by the division of General DEROI, stretches in Upper Bavaria from Ramsau to the Banks of the Inn, from 13enedia, Benern, Hoheft], Waldeck, and Fischback. We. are assured that there are not more than two thousand Austrian troopS in the Tyrol, and that General CHASTELAR, with hii division, has passed through a part of Lower Sty►ia, where he is pursued by a French column. (Royal ilmsterriam Courant, June 4.) DUTCH DECREE, JUNE 30, 1809. Art. 1. The list of 'articles allowed to be import ed, by the Ad of 3 I st March, shall be extended to the following :—Rice, staves, bark, and other drugs used in medicine; cottons, Georgia, Louisiana, aniii Carolina; Java coffee, sugar, from our Colonies.

Auguese army, which when united with the English, will's:educe, in the whole, a force not leis than 70,000 men. With thiS, it 'was expeaed that he would proceed towards Madrid, from wilenC:., ac cording to some accounts, JOSEPH BUONAPARTE had already retired; according to others, he was fortify ing himself in the capital, in the expeetation of be ing attiated. ' 7By the' Mail from Malta, we learn that an Expe dition was in preparation in the Island of Sicily, to make an attack upon some part of the Italian Conti nent. The aetivitiof Sir JOIIN STUART leads us to believe in the Probability of such intention on his part ; as we are likewise induced to trust to his mi litary skill, and the valoui of his troops for ultimate success. Indeed, destitute as Italy now is of French forces, and enraged as its inhabitants must be, at the unjust oppression which the Head Of the Popish Church has recently sustained, we should deem the situation of MURAT somewhat critical. • A letter received yesterday from Dover confirma the account which reached us a few days ago, rela tive to a disturbance at Middleburgh between the Dutch and French soldiers quartered in that town . . This account was brought from Flushing to Dover by a smuggling vessel, and states, that the distur bances were by no means of slight importance ; they continued for several days many lives were lost on both sides,•and w~ have yet to learn whether the affair has subsided. We are sorry to hear that the troops at BnrbadOes, as well as in other quarters, have suffered a . great deal by sickness. General MONRO commands at Barba does.

FEROOsSoN, and for thus support ing our assertion, that no political motives had caused the country tote deprive 4 of his military talents. Ltsecm, AMR 200.4atetters just received from Spain inlorta us, that the army of Cuesta consists at present of 30,1)00 infantry and gOOO cavalry; the army of Carolina consists of 30,000 men ; and the whole are placed under the command of Cuesta.— Vielor's force is greatly diminished by desertion ; but he is still in considerable strength, and was, accord ing to the last accounts, intrenched. abe Portuguese vanguard is at Alcantara. Yesterday-a regiment of British troops sailed up the Tagus; and on Sunday two regiments of itt• (natty were landed here from Gibraltar. • A very large force is colleting in the north of Portugal. Within the last four days, one brigade and two regime. is of the line, which had been quartered here, have marched towards Braga. The whole of the forces in the north are under the com mand of the Portuguese General-Silveira, who has eminently' distinguished himself, And has the un-; qual.fied confidence of the troops under his corn mind. We are aaively recruiting for men, who are to compose new regments. This service is not at tended with much difficulty. To;.vards payment of this and other extraordinary expences, a contri bution has been levied on the opulent and middling classes of the inhabitants, which is not to exceed one million of crusades. The contributors pay cheer-: fully. The weather has been very unseasonable, and un usually irregular; at the time tam writing the rain falls in torrents. Very little is correElly known here of what pass ing- in Gallicia since SOULT'S army arrived there from Oporto; in equal ignorance are we with re aped to VICTOR. The greatest pains are taken to keep every thing secret. Sir A. WELLRSLEY, after leaving Oporto, iouk the road to Abrantes. Gen. BEKESFORD has been here for a few days to make arrangements; he quitted us on the 9th for Badajos. The armies are in motion ; hut they cannot march with great rapidity, being compelled to carry with them every necessary article of provision and stores, the country thrlugh which they pass affording no thing to their necessities. VICTOR,,it is now said, is between Talavera, Me- IKIA, and Truxillo, his army spreading to the margin of the Tagus.
